Go Carroll go!!!!

Does anyone have any insight on how this war started? It's very sad and not a positive thing for owners of Shelby's. I don't know anything about this dispute, but one thing is certain. SAACs registry efforts over the years are the single most important reason the 60s era Shelby value's have remained high.

Give Carroll the stuff back. End of story.

Two sides to every story....This is ugly. Remember, this "stuff" was useless junk to a visionary thinking ahead. But...when todays dollars are made recreating the past ...hindsight is 20/20..

There's gonna be a ton of mud slung over this one....The true Shelby "enthusiasts" are gonna be hurt in the end..Sad..

The problem is he is not just asking for his stuff back. He is asking for everything SAAC has done since 1996.

I agree about the SAAC being the most important reason for the values of the good cars remaining high. Imagine how great it would be if the chevy's had that.

The value the paperwork now has is larely atrributable to the work SAAC has done. I'd like to know where the boxes of paperwork that Rick did not take but left in Shelby's building is now. If its been disposed of then one could make a strong argument that the records he does have would have likely suffered the same fate.

If past performance is any indication of the direction and stewardship the history and records of these cars will receive while under SAAC's control vs. their possesion by CS, his heirs and business partners I hope that SAAC continues to control them.

Perhaps a complete copy of all records and documents can be made and both parties can use them to promote these cars. Then the memebership and owners of these autos can decide which groups best represent their interest.
